. . ."DeWine received more than $40,000 in campaign donations from the trans industry. And an industry it is." . . .
"The New York Times reported, “Ohio lawmakers on Wednesday overrode Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto of a bill that would bar transgender minors from receiving puberty blockers, hormone therapy or gender transition surgery.
“The move by the Republican-controlled state legislature comes less than four weeks after the Republican governor’s veto. The state House voted on Jan. 10 to override Mr. DeWine’s veto, and the Senate has now cleared the way for the law to go into effect, in 90 days.”
NYT’s report was better than the AP story, which was written by someone paid by Report for America, who failed to quote any supporters of the new law, instead quoting LGBT lobbyists and the leader of Senate Democrats.
"Basically, the story was an undisclosed ad for LGBT as it said, “Sen. Kristina Roegner, a Republican from Summit County, falsely asserted on the Senate floor that there is no such thing as gender-affirming care or a gender spectrum and called such care a fool’s errand.”
Falsely? My dear, chromosomes determine sex and sex determines gender. All the artificial hormones and puberty blockers in the world cannot change your DNA.
"But this is what the truth is up against.
"The NYT story said 8,500 children in the state from ages 13 to 17 identify as trannies. At $50,000 a surgery, that is a loss of $425 million in sales for Akron Children’s Hospital, the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, the Cleveland Clinic, and the other butcher shops in Ohio.
"That’s just from the surgery." . . .
